Strafe Captures the Spirit of Yesteryear’s Shooters

The team behind Strafe, Pixel Titans, remembers the past well. They’re creating the type of game that if your parents ever caught you playing it, they would think you were turning into a sociopath. Thankfully, those of us who would actually enjoy the hectic gameplay of Strafe have grown up to be perfectly normal adults. Right?

Anyway, Strafe is on the home stretch of its Kickstarter campaign and has already exceeded its goal. However, there is still time to fund the game, and some of the pledge rewards are absolutely hilarious. You can have the lead programmer of the game come to your house and kiss your ring (seriously!). That same reward also nets you a Strafe themed casket and tombstone for, you know, when you die.

The game is still in development, and will be until the intended release window of 2016, but you can play a pre-alpha demo right now. Just be aware that the demo level does not represent the quality of the final product. We can also confirm that actually playing the game won’t make your head explode. We know it’s only a commercial, but we remained cautious all the same.
